What is a debtor state?
A debtor state is a state that will not garnish wages or place leans on homes in the case of unpaid debts/bills ! There is not such a thing as a "debtor state" there are states that are considered "debtor friendly" rather than "creditor friendly" meaning that the states have existing laws that favor the debtor rather than the creditor when it relates to bankruptcy and lawsuits for monies owed. This does not necessarily mean that wages cannot be garnished, assets cannot be seized nor liens placed against real property, it simply means the debtor can sometimes avoid such action or can protect a large portion of his or her real and personal property.
If the creditor resides in Alabama and the debtor resides in Georgia where should wage garnishment paperwork be filed?
The creditor will need to sue the debtor in his or her state court to obtain a writ of judgment that can then be executed as a wage garnishment against the debtor in the debtor's state, (in this case, Georgia). Even in cases where the lender chooses and wins arbitration, a civil judgment must be obtained from the state court in the county where the debtor resides and must be executed in the manner allowed under the laws of the debtor/s state.
Debtor friendly states?
The term refers to a state's laws that appear to offer a debtor who defaults on financial commitments more protection against creditors.

FYI, There are no community property states that could be defined as "debtor friendly".
